LOS ANGELES: Newly released horror film “Mama” pushed the Oscar-tipped Bin Laden manhunt movie “Zero Dark Thirty” out of the top slot at the North American weekend box office, industry estimates show.
“Mama,” in which a shadowy being trails two young children who were rescued after being lost in the woods when their parents died, screamed into first place with $28.1 million in ticket sales on its opening weekend.
It stars Jessica Chastain, who last week won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of a CIA officer in the acclaimed but controversial “Zero Dark Thirty.”
